This Is Us season 6: Justin Hartley on eventual series finale, ending
Do we have a lot of confidence in Dan Fogelman and a lot of his writing staff? Sure, but we’re also well aware of how polarizing in general a series finale can be. There aren’t a lot of people who universally agree that the end of a given show is “good.” There are always divided opinions and at this point, we’re used to that. If you are a writer, the best thing that you can hope for is that viewers understand your ending, even if they don’t agree with every single twist you’re bringing out.

Speaking in a new interview with Haute Living, star Justin Hartley (Kevin) made it clear how challenging it can be to end a series — but, at the same time, also some of the confidence that he had in the team to come up with something that works:
“It’s a tricky thing to end a series. It’s as tricky as the pilot, really. In the pilot, you’re introducing a lot of characters and a lot of plot and a lot of story. You want people to connect with the characters, and you have a limited amount of time. At the end, you have all these stories that you’ve told and a limited amount of time to wrap everything up. But I have all the faith in the world that [creator Dan Fogelman] and our writing team will figure it out. I think everyone will be pleased — beyond satisfied.”
We do get the sense that Fogelman wants to tie together as many loose ends as possible — it’ll be hard to achieve perfection, so above all else, we just want to feel something by the time the end credits roll.
